To the Ejitor of the "Ne Cama Day News"
Sim,—Whuld you be kind enough publish the following in your esteemed newspaper in the "Letters to the Editor" column:—
I read your letter, PET.
I offer et condolences, "Though also once it happened to me, And 1 was angry non-the-less But if you really come to reason, How can you call it an awful crime? Perhaps it was their off-time season, Do you not ever rest some time?
And if they laughed and pointed their finger, 1 imagine it was funny to see Twelve sheep rush in, and there linger Awaiting so expectantly.
But don't be angry, FET.
Perhaps you were a litle late, As those things were, and still they'll be A humble traveller's daily fate.
Shanghai, Jan. 12.
